:: While not as usefull as their T2 counterparts, these ships make excellent training vessels for newer pilots. The [[Osprey]] is a shield repper[[Exequror]] is for armor. Both are best utilized with small remote armor repairs or micro shield transfer arrays (respectively) and fielded to compliment cheap T1 frigates and cruisers. These ships also see a lot of service in the emergency repair of Player Owned Structures and stations due to their cheap costs and low skill requirements, enabling a corp or alliance to have every member available to quickly restore a damaged structure. | :: While not as usefull as their T2 counterparts, these ships make excellent training vessels for newer pilots.

* Logistics Ships are skill Intensive: <br><br> The training time to get into and properly fly a logistics ship can easily take four to six months for a new player. Many of the skills do not translate well to direct combat, potentially hurting your income potential from missioning / ratting. Logistics skills in no way translate to industry skills. Because of this most pilots don't start cross training into logistics untill they have their heavy assult, battle cruiser, or battleship skills in order for income purposes.<br><br> | * Logistics Ships are skill Intensive: <br><br> The training time to get into and properly fly a logistics ship can easily take four to six months for a new player.

* Try it out before you decide to train for it:<br><br> There are two T1 cruisers available to test the waters for logistics ships. If you want to give it a go early in your career, or test the waters before putting in for the intensive skill plan, grab one and use them in the mass t1 frigate or cruiser fleets. You won't keep too many ships alive, but you could make a big difference in the usually short life of the fast tacklers.<br><br> Try them out!
